ifutended for last week)
The Farm Forum was held on Mon-
day evening at the home of Mr, and
Mrs, Walton Cook with a good at-
tendance, After the radio broadcast
the group discussed the questions on
what steps should be taken by Canada
to show Asiatic countries that our
attitude to them is friendly and non,
aggressive, The groups decided we
should send to Asia our surplus food
and also missionaries, doctors and
specialists in other lines to show the
people how to make better use of
what they have in the line of natural
resources, This should be a govern,
ment project. We should also show the.
Asiatic people in our country that we
are willing to share our heritage with
them.
It was decided we could convince
others that the democratic way of
life is better than the communistic
way by having young people of other
countries visit our country and, see
for themselves what democracy really
is like, and when they go home they
would be good missionaries for our
way of life, One thing they would be
sure to notice is the long unguarded
border line between Canada and the
United States, which would be an im-
possibility in Communist countries.
The Forum will meet on December
7th at the home of Mrs, 3. L. Mc-
Dowell with recreation in charge of
Gordon McDowell, The recreation on
Monday night was in charge of Mrs.
Walter Cook, Lunch was served and
a social time spent.

A BROKEN LIGHT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
In the dark, a man steps off the curb and is,struck down
by a passing car. The driver failed to see him. Subsequent
investigation revealed a broken street light at the scene of
the accident.
Remember, street lights are placed there for everyone's
convenience and protection. Motorists hcive less chance to
see pedestrians in a dim light; people on foot are. more
likely to stumble and fall.
Replacing broken street lights costs thousands of dollars
each year. This money comes out of your pocket in the
long run because you are a part owner in your Hydro.
Help to keep your streets safe, to protect your Hydro pro-
perty by doing everthing in your power to prevent broken
street lights.
